The Dodgers road trip from hell got even worse on its final day, as Andre Ethier left Wednesday's game in the first inning with a left oblique injury. Ethier walked on the first inning, then was erased on a double play by Juan Rivera. It is unclear just how or when Ethier injured the oblique, but he was removed from the game in the middle of the first after talking with trainer Sue Falsone.
